OA-4M Skyhawk, for SF2

---

OA-4M Skyhawk by triplethr3at/pappychksix/Fracture

 

= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =

 

** The Full-4/5 Merged is a requirement, as the A-7D_78 cockpit is referenced for the Mod

(SF2:E??).

If you don't have these minimum requirements, you shouldn't download this, as you

will not be able to use it.**

 

This is an overhaul of triplethr3at's SF2 USMC OA-4M Skyhawk FAC/Attack aircraft. All the

inis have been brought up to the latest (as of July, 2012) standard. Some modifications to

the avionics are existant more for 'playability' (meaning: it's far more capable then the

Real Life ™ aircraft).

 

Loadouts use all common or garden variety stock 3W weapons. It is set to fly all mission

profiles as any other standard Scooter (with the exception of carrier basing). Decal

randomizations is implemented, and all skin maps are jpg.

The avionics hump, while not fitting quite as nice as I would like, and the

'probe/antenna/blister combo kit' are attached via the Fake Pilot Method ™*

New damage textures (dds) and a new SF2-style hangar screen are included. Data ini

modifications using the 'Remove Component Trick**' eliminate the shadow tractor beams from

the outer pylons as seen on other mods using the TA-4J LOD.

 

The Threat Library also makes use of dtmdragons' extensively expanded list (not included). A

userlist is included, even though the aircraft has only one User (USMC). SF2NA style Carrier

statements are listed in the Data ini, but commented out; as I was unable to determine if

these ever were flown from The Boats.

 

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So,

please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. More interesting and perhaps

vital info there, as well.

Triplethr3at's original readme is included for histerical purposes.

 

Happy Hunting!

You know was just thinking about this bird the other day... after a discussion on if it had been prepped for SF2... and here it is... Thanks oh wise Wrench... But to answer a question the Jet was still Carrier capable according to one of my books... also it the OA-4M was actually a TA-4F! 23 Conversions...

Thank You Kevin!

slarti: true. but once those statements are reactivated, and you're flying on a terrain that's NavalMap=TRUE, you're stuck flying from The Boat.

This way, I gave everyone the option of having it on or off (carrierbased=true, that is)

Okay now thats a good point... missed that bit as I haven't been stooging of the boats for awhile...
